What would most likely happen in the ecosystem if the zooplankton population significantly decreased?

All of the animals would die. Cuz the animal that ate the plankton would die then the next species would die.

What is the order from smallest to largest Biosphere Ecosystem Community Population or Organism?
1) organism 2) population 3)community 4)ecosystem so hope i helped :) :):):):)
All members of a species in an ecosystem?
The members of the ecosystem are biotic and abioticbio means life
What is an unbalanced ecosystem?
An unbalanced ecosystem is an ecosystem in which some force has greatly increased or decreased an element within the population. This can cause a detrimental problem to the once symbiotic community.
What makes an ecosystem?
An ecosystem is made of many species, which live in a community, and they live in a population.
Biotic factor that affects the size of a population in a specific ecosystem?
The number and kinds of predators in the ecosystem.
What organisms do zooplankton feed on in a freshwater ecosystem?
phytoplankton
What role do zooplankton play in such ecosystems?
the niche of the zooplankton is providing filter feedings for other organisms
What is the difference between population and ecosystem?
Population is how many there are, and ecosystem is how do they fit into the world.
What is population a community and ecosystem?
define and compare the term species, population, and ecosystem
A population is at the carrying capacity for its environment What would happen if the carrying capacity suddenly decreased?
If the carrying capacity suddenly decreased, you could probably expect the amount of organisms within the ecosystem to decrease as well. (There is a decreased amount of room/resources for the organisms, causing the quantity of organisms to decrease as well.) hope that helps :)
What changes have been observed in the ecosystem since the species introduction brown tree snakes?
bird population decreased as the snake fed on the bird eggs.
What are the units of ecosystem?
Organism, Population, Community, Ecosystem.

An ecosystem in Africa lions are predators for zebras. The lion population increases and they eat more zebras. This decreases the zebra population. What happens next?
This is a very simplified scenario. However, in this scenario, the decreased zebra population would not provide enough food for all the lions. Some lions would starve or leave to find food somewhere far away. Once the lion population had decreased enough, the zebra population would recover, and the ecosystem would be back in balance. Note, however, the lion population would usually not spontaneously increase unless the population of prey animals increased first, which would only happen if plants grew especially well for a year, or if one of their predators had a population decrease.

What is the population in the ecosystem?
yes and a population is 1 group of animals.A community is all the animlas living in that ecosystem.
